I would love to see formations, gates, more population, unique units, an unique style for every civilization.

3

i think aoe should introduce with the charge attack option where troops runs aggressively towards the enemy just like in real battle

As it is a remaster I suspect that everything that is in AOE also will be in AOE:DE

1.Not going to happen. At least not for now.
2. This will be done.
3. Not going to happen.
4. Might happen. Just await the new graphics.
5. same
6. What? Dead bodies should stay forever? That is both annoying and very unrealistic.
7. Probably not going to happen
8. Same
9. Already exists (steroids).
10. Not going to happen
11. Already exists.
12. Women as a civ? lolwut.
13. already exists.
14. ???
15. Whis will be done.
16. Already exists.
17. As this is a remaster, if it is in AOE it probably is in AOE:DE
18. Not going to happen. At least not for now.
19. Ah ok. Well if you mean different skins or formations, neither are going to happen.

Great additions, probably the suggestions about including formations are more difficult to be included because they need to modify certain rules of combat. I expect more than a hd version of AoE. I’m sure that we see new game modes in this game

From my point of view there is a lack of units and micro-gestion in fight.

I mean in the 3rd you have canon good vs infantry, cavalry good vs canon but some infantry good vs cavalry and …

There is a lack of units. If i remember well all civilisation have the same units (nearly all) . You haven’t as the 2nd and 3rd lot of units and specialisation. I mean civilisation as Russian rush bad infantry but a huge number of them or France which plays defensive until GENDARME…

And it gave me a lot of fun because i had to adpat my self to my opponent, here it’s just 6/7 units even in starcraft 2 you have more …

7

I totally agree, in addition to production line of farms and traps for fish (also with production queue)

8

you guys play the RoR trial version? I always thought that campaign should have been in the retail version. I played that trial so many times. I remember going out of my way to convert enemy chariots cause Carthage couldn’t get them which is weird cause the scythe chariot was one of the new features of the gold edition but there was no good way to try them out in the trial. Same with Camels. Hey lets get some proper Archemedian doomsday devices now shall we? that mirror tower was so not realistic.

9

oh lets get a different sprite for the Heavy Cavalry and the Cataphract, Phalanx to Centurion, Ballista-Helipolis, Guard Tower-Balista Tower, ect. (I always felt the Centurion and Phalanx should switch names)

10

If the population limit is being increased like 200 or so as in AOE 2: HD then at least let us select more than 40 units at once.

@AlexSpartanΛ said:

Confirmed to not be in the game.

2.Better,More fighting animations.

I really wouldn’t mind this, provided it’s strictly visual and cosmetic.

3.Different skins,culture for every Faction.etc Spartans cant use camels or elephants.Egyptians yes.etc Spartan phalanx,macedonian phalanx,roman phalanx,add differents cultures from every ancient world and phalanxs.(buildings,style)

This is interesting, but I think I would prefer it if things stayed the way they are, for simplicity’s sake. A few major culture groups, but the units should stay the same - plus, it saves the artists a ton of work :cold_sweat:

4.Realistic Fire.

Agreed, hopefully we’ll see this with the upgraded graphics.

5.Better animation when buildings collapse,with fire on it.

I don’t think this is even possible, because of how the sprites work.

6.Dead bodies not disappear.

Hmm…interesting. It could get cluttered, but finding huge battlefields would be pretty awesome.

7.Bigger,More maps.

Agreed

8.More animals.

Agreed! The wildlife in AoE was, imo, superior to that of AoE2!

9.build faster (cheat)
10.spawn army,civs faster(cheat)
11.food,gold,wood,stone(cheat)

These will probably be in the game.

12.Add womans too as civs

Part of the nostalgia for me was having villies be all short-wearing men, clones of eachother. I lean more towards not changing them.

13.Every server hoster,admin choose the population that he want.(and not 50 max again,you cant fight with 50 population max.)

Obviously this will be in the game.

14.Choice to control our units and create phalanxs.

Formations would be a benefit to gameplay, although it would change the feel of the game. Risky.

15.Intelligence AI.

Improved AI will be in the game.

16.It Would be Great if we will be able to control multiple units at the same time.

What do you mean? This is already in the game.

17.Trade with other players in MP (etc you give stone 100,he gives food 100 )+choice for Ally,Neutral,Enemy in MP like AOE 1.

Agreed, trading was great in AoE2.

18.More playable Factions.

Hmm…risky, but potentially fruitful.

You mean 0 A.D

This game AoE DE is more classic gaming, nor realistic like total war or 0 A.D
